For me, it has to be ojing-o bokum ((오징어볶음) , a spicy sauté of squid with julienne vegetables of carrots , onions, and mushrooms.
I first tried this dish about two years ago, when I invited my friends to lunch at a Korean restaurant. Aside from ordering the more common korean dish such as bibimbap, samgyeopsal, and galbi, which i order almost everytime i eat in a korean restaurant, the waiter suggested ojing-o bokum. Knowing a few korean words, i remembered that ojing-o is squid, so i tried it.
The dish was quite spicy, as most korean dishes are, thanks to the gochujang, but it was a hearty experience for me and my stomach.
Since then, whenever i eat in a korean restaurant, ojingo bokum is always present at my table.
How about you, what's your favorite korean dish?

any idea what's on a korean pizza?
they actually call it buchimgae (i guess that's what's written in the menu). the one i eat would usually have zucchini, shrimps, onions, bell pepper, squid. and then you dip it in soy sauce.
